Marshall Billingslea, a Trump Official, asked the Obama Administration for a Copy of the CIA’s Profile on Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, on behalf of his Boss, Michael Flynn. It was Billingslea who offered to get the Profile, but Flynn did not object. The Dossier was delivered to Flynn, but it’s not clear whether he ever read it.

Flynn Resigned in February and his contact with Russia continues to be under Scrutiny.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, were among the other Trump officials to meet with Kislyak before the President’s Inauguration.
